Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

I’ve been using the plugin for a few months now, and never really managed to get the custom fields to populate.
Specifically this one which is described in the postmaster manual

<txp:bab_pm_zemTime custom_field="zemSubscriberCustom1" />

Has anyone else been able to make it work?

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

catnip> what are you trying to do? Look here to begin with

  1. If you’re trying to display a custom field: <txp:bab_pm_data display="subscriberCustom1" />
  2. If you’re trying to add something to the db from a ZCR form: <txp:zem_contact_text label="My Label" name="zemSubscriberCustom4"/>

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

Hi Dale,
Was using this thinking it would add time of subscription to the subscriber’s details. Obviously not.

Pasted <txp:zem_contact_text label=“My Label” name=“zemSubscriberCustom4”/> into my contact form but it doesn’t get displayed, though source code shows it, which is what I meant by being unsuccessful at populating custom fields in the DB.

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

syntax error. you’re using curly quotes

<txp:zem_contact_text label="My Label" name="zemSubscriberCustom4" />

That was my mistake… forgot to close the code tag

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

Hey!
is it possible to send 30,000 emails at once with this plugin?
(one list of 30,000 emails)
will it stuck/crush or it will work fine?
do I need to do something special in the hosting account?

I would think that 30,000 would be a lot!

Some time ago, I wrote about how to ‘intergrate’ Phplist for a newsletter in Textpattern. I would either go with that solution or just use phplist.

Could you post a link to your integration write-up please?

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

I’m having a problem to unsubscribe from a specific list
I got two lists:
1. guestlist
2. newsletter

and when someone subscribe, he automaticly subscribe to them:
<txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberLists" value="guestlist newsletter" />

but now I want to let then unsubscribe only from the “newsletter” list:
<txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberLists" value="newsletter" />
but that is not working good because it’s totally delete the subscriber, and not only from the specific list I want it.

any help please?

my forms:

<!— subscribe form —>
<txp:zem_contact to=“myemailaddress@mydomain.com” label=”“ thanks=“blabla” subject=“guestlist and newsletter enter” from=“my name <myemailaddress@mydomain.com>”>
<txp:zem_contact_secret name=“zemSubscriberLists” value=“guestlist newsletter” />
<txp:zem_contact_text name=“zemSubscriberName” label=“Name:” break=”“ />
<txp:zem_contact_email name=“zemSubscriberEmail” label=“Email” break=”“ />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label=“Subscribe” />
</txp:zem_contact>

<!— unsubscribe form —>
<txp:zem_contact to=“myemailaddress@mydomain.com” label=”“ thanks=“blabla” subject=“newsletter out” from=“my name <myemailaddress@mydomain.com>”>
<txp:zem_contact_secret name=“zemSubscriberLists” value=“newsletter” />
<txp:zem_contact_secret name=“zemUnSubscribe” value=“on” />
<txp:zem_contact_email name=“zemSubscriberEmail” label=“Email” break=”“ />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label=“Unsubscribe” />
</txp:zem_contact>

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

Hi All!

Anyone that wants to add the same email address, to multiple lists, you must login to your hosting control panel, and delete the unique key – subscriberEmail from the bab_pm_subscribers table.. not the field, just the unique key located underneath the table structure view, then it works..

Now, it could cause problems that need additional fixing in the future, and I haven’t tested it full yet so.. use at own risk ;)
